Visualising the Emerging Platform of Using Microalgae as a Sustainable Bio-Factory for Healthy Lipid Production through Biocompatible AIE Probes.

ABSTRACT: Nowadays, a particular focus is using microalgae to get high-valued health beneficiary lipids. The precise localisation of the lipid droplets (LDs) and biochemical changes are crucial to portray the lipid production strategy in algae, but it requires an in vivo tool to rapidly visualise LD distribution. As a novel strategy, this study focuses on detecting lipid bioaccumulation in a green microalga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii using the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) based probe, 2-DPAN (C₂₄H₁₈N₂O). As the messenger molecule and stress biomarker, hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) activity was detected in lipid synthesis with the AIE probe, TPE-BO (C₃₈H₄₂B₂O₄). Distinctive LDs labelled with 2-D
